Diana Noris has made a name for herself by mastering a diverse set of skills. Actress, artist, model, spokesperson, author, columnist, animal activist & advocate. These are just a few of this Puerto Rican beauty’s many talents. Showbiz spoke with the Renaissance woman about her love for animals, life and her career after moving a year ago from Miami to live in Washington DC and New York and making her colorful mark with vigor. Diana shared with us that it was a kind of a “culture shock” moving fro Miami to the northeast because the culture is way more conservative and the film industry is extremely hard to get into, especially for a Latina. The actress tells us she is also working as a casting associate which she adores because she gets to experience the other side of the industry. Also, we learned part of her goals is to become one of the main Casting Directors in the North East and would love to share her time between Boston and Los Angeles. “However, in the meantime, I am adjusting and getting used to DC. I am enjoying the rich and exquisite culture and absolutely loving the history, monuments and making new memories with new friends and colleagues”.
Experiencing the best of both worlds, Diana Laura considers Puerto Rico and Argentina home. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, her mother’s family lives in Mendoza, Argentina, from where this starlet’s culture and essence stem.
